Chapter 054: The Si Man Has Passed Away
On the riverbank, beside the ridge, the willows flutter in the wind, the pink peach blossoms and white apricot blossoms are all over Xiao Mo, and the wind blowing in the face carries the gentle smell of new grass and trees. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tall and thin woman carrying a basket on the side of the road silently gave way always looked at the carriage, maybe it was rare for outsiders to enter the village?
Hearing Shen Liang lying on the window of the car, excitedly shouting the names of the passing dogs, Shen Xi knew that it was almost there.
Sure enough, after crossing the small stone bridge at the entrance of the village, I followed the path between wild flowers and entered a village with almond blossoms in the back mountain.
On the open land between the two mountains, there is a house with two old apricot trees planted in front of the door and behind the house, which is naturally the Shen house.
And attached to the middle of the main house on both sides of the courtyard there is a cross courtyard in the east and west, all of which have another door to enter and exit.
The carriage entered from the main gate, and when she got out of the car, Aunt Pei led Shen Liang to the east side courtyard where the Moon Cave Gate was past.
Shen Xi looked around twice, only to see that this was a three-way courtyard, several long-term workers had heard the news and came out to unload the carriage, and another pair of men and women in Ge clothes greeted Shen Xin and them, and then hurriedly greeted them.
When he arrived, he bowed to her and saluted: "Fang Cai Wang'er went to the town and came back, saying that he saw the girl coming back, we still don't believe it, but now I see it, but he didn't talk nonsense!"
The two of them saluted her in front of her for several weeks, but they did not see the inhibition and alienation, but smiled so much that the crow's feet on their faces came out, revealing the joy in their hearts.
The original owner had lived here for three years, and Shen Liang was able to play with the children of the tenant family up and down the mountain and the river, and she was naturally familiar with the people around her.
Her temperament may not be suitable for inner house life, but in such a place, it is very suitable.
Shen Xi guessed that they were the head of the village Qi Shun and the second aunt of the lady Qi, so he said: "I'm sorry for you to worry." We don't care, we just need to greet the other girls. ”
Second Aunt Qi was busy saying something, but Qi Shun stopped her and said, "What the girl ordered, the little one knows it in her heart." But don't worry, girl. ”
Shen Xi nodded, and at this time, several village women next to him waited until Shen Xin and they had all entered the house, and they also swarmed up to greet them and ask questions.
She answered them one by one, and asked Yuanbei to take out the snacks that Lin Pei bought, and took some out to distribute to the children of the long-term workers and tenant families.
After the greetings, I entered the courtyard, and unexpectedly, this small courtyard was cleaned up more pleasing to the eye than the original Lixiang Courtyard.
Don't talk about the material of the furniture, in the countryside, it is impossible to put any expensive guys here.
It's just that even though it's rudimentary, it's clean everywhere, and the floor is repaired to all the broken places.
The doors and windows are all freshly pasted, and a canopy of spring flowers outside the window is blooming dazzlingly.
A big cat lay on a stone pier next to the flowers, squinting in the sunlight and stretching lazily at her.
Everything shows that the enthusiasm of the people in Zhuangzi is not perfunctory, they have left the town, and the house is still managed.
There are only four rooms in the courtyard, Aunt Pei has already lived in the east ear room as before, Pearl Yuanbei has gone to the west ear room, Shen Liang lives in the east wing, and the main room is naturally left to her.
They came with Shi Rui's family, the lady in charge.
After a short rest here, Shi Rui's family sent people to spread the word and prepare to go to the cemetery to worship.
Since the Great Zhou is not restricted to men and women, natural women can also go up the mountain to sweep the tomb.
The cemetery is on the East Mountain, two miles away, and the entire 200 acres of the hill is all the territory of the Shen family.
Under Zhang Luo of Shi Rui's family, everyone has arrived, except for Lin Pei, of course. Although he is also familiar with Shen Chongxin and his wife, how can people from other families really go up the mountain?
Shen Xin is not there because Lin Pei is not there, so everything is not pleasing to the eye.
Although Shen Yan didn't say anything, her attention was all on her beautiful dress—even if she was particular about her clothes when sweeping the tomb, she was wearing colorful clothes as if no one was around, and although there was no rouge on her face, her hair was carefully groomed.
Needless to say, Shen Qu stared at the girls in the village all the way, and he didn't take his eyes off.
As the eldest grandson, Shen Di is calmer in the end, and he also knows how to look at Shen Liang and Shen Mao. And this pair of young Xu was relatively quiet because they had only married Liang Zi not long ago.
Shen Chongxin and his wife were buried together on the mountainside, and two ginkgo trees were planted in front of the grave, which had been full of young leaves.
Shen Xi felt that he should say something to them, but he didn't know where to start.
Some people may think that the two of them are stupid, in that case, they should protect their lives first, and many times, even Shen Xi may take care of himself first when he encounters such a situation, but their "stupidity" is so precious in the face of the selfishness and indifference of the people of the Shen family.
Finally she fell to the ground and kowtowed three times, then stood up.
Go down the hill and go back to the house and see how it is getting dark, it is not yet noon.
Shen Xi changed back into his daily clothes, so he called Yuanbei and said, "Go and ask Uncle Qi to come over." ”
Qi Shun was next door, and when he heard the news, he walked in: "The girl has an order?"
Shen Xi looked left and right, walked down the stone steps and said, "I want to get a car to go to Qingshi Town, but I don't want other people to know." ”
As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the main courtyard.
Qi Shun paused slightly, and immediately understood what she meant, and said: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, the small family happens to have a car, just so that Wang'er can send you there, but the car is not as comfortable as the car in the house-"
As the head of Xingergou, the family is naturally not thin. Naturally, there are carriages, houses, and so on.
"It's okay to be old, as long as you can go. Shen Xi said.
Qi obeyed the sound and immediately turned around and went to do it.
Shen Xi asked Yuanbei to go to prepare, and then found Aunt Pei and told him a few words.
At this time, there was a young man in his early twenties, with a square face and a short beat, walked in, and when he saw Shen Xi, he bowed down and saluted the girl, it turned out that it was Qi Shun's nephew Wang'er who had arrived in a carriage.
Yuanbei first went out to see if there was anyone outside, and then chose a secluded side door for Shen Xi to get in the car, and then boarded it himself, all the way to the direction of Qingshi Town.
Shen Xi has an impression of Qingshi Town.
The southern suburbs are mostly the Biye Granges of the rich and noble, and Qingshi Town is the largest town in the southern suburbs.
The town is not only comparable to some small counties outside Beijing, but also prosperous as in the city, the Xiao family was not in the town at the beginning, and she also came with her cousins back then, but she was too prosperous and came very little.
Before she came yesterday, she had already looked at the map, and Heihe Town was only seven or eight miles away from Qingshi Town.
Wang'er drove very smoothly.
And the carriage was not as shabby as Qi Shun said.
Although the exterior is ordinary, the inside is deliberately covered with brand new cushions, as well as washed melons and fruits and pastries on plates.
It can be seen that although the original owner has encountered walls everywhere in the Shen Mansion, he is very popular in this Xingergou.
